>An MI5 spy used his status to terrorise his partner before moving abroad to continue intelligence work while under investigation, >Evidence shows that he is a right-wing extremist with a violent past.
>he worked as a paid informant for the British security services - an agent or covert human intelligence source (CHIS), to use the formal term - infiltrating extremist networks. She was aware that he was having meetings with his handlers, receiving money, and being given equipment.
>Initially, she said, he kept his real name hidden from her. Our investigation has established that X spent years working as a CHIS for MI5, using several aliases.
>The security service runs agents in terrorist networks, informants who secretly work with their handlers, MI5 officers. Controversial powers authorise its agents to commit crimes as part of their cover, but only to access life-saving intelligence, disrupt more serious crime, or ensure an agent's safety.
We'll all just move to runcorn, displace the natives, and bully josh.

>During a search of the home after the machete attack, local police officers had discovered extremist material - including X's personal Nazi paraphernalia.
>The BBC has seen a police log showing the evidence found by officers, such as a private diary in which X had written about killing "Jews". He had also written about killing Beth.
>Local officers called in counter-terror detectives, who in turn seized various items. A terrorism investigation into X ensued, but he left the UK while it was ongoing.
>Within weeks of him leaving, Beth had a mental breakdown and was hospitalised.
>While she was there, items of hers that had also been seized by counter terror officers were returned to a member of her family by a man who did not identify himself. The relative assumed the man was an associate of X. Neither Beth nor her family knew of the terrorism investigation.
>The police claim that property had been returned to X was also untrue - the material had been given to MI5. We have established that, after X disappeared, he moved abroad and began working for a foreign intelligence agency. .........
